Summary
Lyara Tauri is in the Rider's Quadrant because her narcissistic, self-absorbed ass of a father explicitly sent her here to die.
Well, fuck him very much. She's not dying here, and whatever she has to do to make that happen is more than fine with her.
She hopes he fucking chokes on it.

One Wedding and Countless Funerals by scintillescent
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
11 Nov 2025

Summary
Riders are allowed to marry sooner than the other quadrants—right after graduation, in fact, probably due to our higher mortality rate—but still not before a certain age. - Violet Sorrengail

Summary
"When you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die."
Violet finds herself in between two crowns, and her choice can determine the fate of the entire continent. Xaden loves Violet and wants her at his side if and when Tyrrendor claims independence. King Tauri comes to understand how vital Violet is to defeating the venin and protecting Navarre, and is willing to offer her exactly what she wants to secure her allegiance. How can Violet pursue her relationship with Xaden, and all the implications that come with it, without slighting the Kingdom of Navarre and causing another war?
The first two chapters take place during the events of Iron Flame. The third chapter, and beyond, take place after the existing canon, focusing primarily on a possible conflict between Tyrrendor and Navarre. And who is stuck in the middle? Our girl, Violet.
I also could not help myself to sprinkle in some more spice.

Summary
It took only a few minutes for Violet to figure out what purpose she served.
No one said it out loud—not yet, but they’d get there—but they kept throwing out words like formalizing alliances and uniting two groups, and she understood.
Violet was a sacrificial lamb, and Xaden Riorson was the wolf, and her slaughter would be their marriage.

Basgiath War College Stories: A Collection of One-Shots by studioRa
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
08 May 2024
Tags
Summary
We sit around a campfire and share horror stories from war and fantastical stories from our loves lost, but sometimes the best stories come from the humdrum of everyday life, back when we were young and idiot kids. These are the Basgiath War College stories, a collection of one-shots from all the tiny moments that maybe could have happened, but we just never heard about. Assume spoilers through Iron Flame.
NEW CHAPTER: Study Buddies II: Big Girls Don’t Cry
“You know who’s pretty good at physics?” Xaden hitched his pant legs up an inch to sit back down on his rock. “Garrick.” Imogen fumbled the throw at the sound of Garrick’s name, her heart frustratingly skipping against her chest when it should have been her rock skipping instead. “Something going on between the two of you?”Imogen definitely, probably, hopefully doesn’t hate him, but Garrick’s not convinced of that as fact until Xaden can undeniably confirm it.

does it feel alright to not know me? by bookscatscoffee

Summary
It takes everything in me to form my next words. I manage it, although my voice is thin and brittle.
“Do you know who I am?”
I am Violet Sorrengail Riorson. Third-year cadet. Fourth Wing, flame section, second squad. Duchess of Tyrrendor. Lightning wielder. Dream-walker. Tairn and Andarna’s rider. Your wife.
Your murderer.
I would take any single one of those answers. Any flicker of recognition in his gaze, because gods, he is looking at me like he’s trying to place me. His expression is bewildered now, between me clinging to him and whatever Sgaeyl has said to him. I hold my breath and try not to fall to pieces.
After the longest moment of my life, he shakes his head.

Summary
Surviving the Riders Quadrant is hard enough, but surviving it while keeping a massive secret? That’s just plain reckless.
Nyx Greycastle—well, that’s the name she’s using—has spent her life surrounded by dragons, but pretending to be just another first-year cadet at Basgiath War College is proving more difficult than she expected. Between sadistic instructors, bloodthirsty rivals, and an annoyingly handsome wingleader who keeps looking at her like he knows something, staying under the radar is impossible.
Oh, and there’s also the minor issue of not dying before Threshing.
With secrets, enemies, and an ever-growing number of dumb decisions piling up, Nyx is in for the deadliest three years of her life. But if she wants to claim a dragon—and live long enough to turn the tide of a secret war—she’ll have to prove she’s more than just a name.
Because in the Riders Quadrant, survival isn’t guaranteed.
It’s earned.

Samara doesn't remember the first fourteen years of her life, and found herself waking up from a coma in the hospital.When she joins the riders quadrant, she finds herself immediately infatuated with a third-year rider with a rebellion mark. Someone who should hate her guts, but he doesn't, instead he's just as curious about her as she is about him.

Summary
My name is Sloane Mairi, and I remember nothing.
Eight years of my life? Gone.Oh, and in case that wasn’t enough:
—Woke up married to Dain Aetos (kill me now).
—Thoirt’s ignoring me.
—Someone wants me dead.
—And Aaric is tying the knot with Cat. But it’s just politics… right?So, between amnesia, assassination plots, and a husband I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have chosen sober, life’s been a real treat.
Lucky me.

Summary
Theon was trash from the moment he was born, tossed in the gutters of Aretia and left to fend for himself. When his city burns and he robs the wrong house, Theon is left with one choice: Die as front line fodder in the infantry, or die in the Rider’s Quadrant, attempting to claw his way out of the filth. It’s really no choice at all.

Summary
To save Xaden, Violet Sorrengail turns to the Goddess of Love, Loial, pleading for a miracle. The goddess agrees, but at a price. Xaden’s soul will be restored, for love itself was what shattered him. Yet the cost is devastating: not only will Xaden forget Violet, but so will everyone who has ever known her. She will become a ghost in their lives, an unseen warrior, stripped of her place as friend, sister, or wife.
For his life and for the protection of those she loves, Violet makes the ultimate sacrifice. She accepts to becoming erased and thus this tale begins.

Summary
A surprise Venin ambush in the mountain passes leaves Violet critically injured — not by magic, but by something far more insidious: poisoned steel. When her body begins to fail faster than the healers can work, Xaden refuses to leave her side.
The cure lies days away in a storm-wrecked outpost once belonging to the rebels, and time is running out. Against orders, Xaden leaves Basgaith with her in his arms, determined to get her there before her heart stops.
But as the poison seeps deeper, Violet slips in and out of consciousness — caught between fevered dreams and painful clarity. She begins to hear things she shouldn’t: memories that aren’t hers, pieces of Xaden’s past bleeding through the bond.
On the flight north, both of them are forced to face the one truth they’ve avoided since the war ended: that even love can’t always save what’s dying. -

Summary

What will she have to sacrifice? What will she have to risk?
One thing she knows for sure:

Summary
I didn’t ask for her life, her body, or her war. One second I was in a hospital bed in my world — the next, I was bleeding out in hers.
Now I’m pretending to be someone I’m not, bonded to dragons I never deserved, and falling for a man who has no idea I’m not the girl he thinks I am. I’ve tried to stay quiet, tried to survive, tried not to break the future I remember.
But the war’s coming faster than it should. People are dying who weren’t supposed to. And I’m running out of time to stay hidden — or to stop what’s coming.
Because I know how the story ends.
And I’m not sure I make it out alive.- Language:

Summary
"You have got to be FUCKING kidding me."
"Language, Violet." Lilith Sorrengail's gaze is disapproving.
"Respectfully, ma'am, I have trained as a figure skater my whole life. And now you're telling me I need to play hockey? At Basgiath? As a WALK-ON?" My mother is many things. Unhinged was not one I would have seen coming, given the carefully controlled, cold façade she wears 99% of the time. But there's no way else to explain this other than unhinged.
****
The transition to college is hard enough, but Violet Sorrengail also gets to add "attempting to become a hockey player" on her plate ... as well as avoid Xaden Riorson and his crew, thanks to some sketchy shit that went down with their parents and the (now-closed) University of Aretia. Or so she was always told. But things are never exactly what they seem ...
